was good playing yesterday Kireek mate, brought back memories lol. So this friend command thing, the name I have to enter is your name as it appears on this board right? so for you it would be "K_I_R_E_E_K" right? so then you go to your sylverant account and it can show you a friend list and which are online right? the other thing I wanted to ask which I forgot was about the character backup online thing, how do you do that again? cheers dude

The nickname is your choice, it's a name that you can recognize easily, you can put a random word, but then after 1 or 2 months you will forget who is that person.On the website you can see info of who is online and where are they, if you are ingame and a friend joins/leaves the server, a message in green or in red will be displayed, so you will know without going to the website if i have just joined the server.

You have 2 ways of backing up, either save the game on another vmu (i have a youtube video on it) or you can go to the server and use the folowing commands

/save [slot] -- Save the current character data to the server for backup purposes. [slot] is required and can be between 1 and 4 (inclusive). This command can only be executed in a default lobby, not a game lobby.

/restore [slot] -- Restore the character data from the given slot on the server (saved previously with /save). Be careful when using this command as PSOPC doesn't seem to like you restoring a character that isn't the same as the one you came on the game with. [slot] is required and can be between 1 and 4 (inclusive). This command can only be executed in a default lobby, not a game lobby.

Example:/save 1

Let's pretend you corrupted, then you simply go to the server and type/restore 1

It may take a few seconds, after it's done i believe you will reload in the lobby automaticly, quit and save afterwards.

Next go to the account section on sylverant , put your username and pass, select friend list and then a table should be displayed containing your GC#, your friend GC# and status (online or offline)

Updated 1st post.

Heya mate, just to let you know I've followed the instructions for the friendadd think and although it works on the DC I cant see a list on Sylverant website... just to point out that it doesn't appear to work on there atm.... cheers

Also, keep in mind you have to register your serial number/access key on the Account page on the Sylverant site as well. However, if you are using a "shared serial" (i.e, if you're not using a serial that you personally got in a REAL copy of PSO), it is against the rules to register that SNAK to your account.

I reserve the right to ban people who disobey this rule, as the page for registering SNAKs states. Please don't make me actually have to go and do that, that's all I ask.

ok so hang on I didn't know I had to register my key as well, or what you guys call a SNAK, I still use the exact same key and serial that I got with the game and used 10 years ago so do I just add that to my account? Ok I will give that a go, thanks for the advice.

Oh and Kireek (slight off topic-ness, sorry!) , I got my mate working last night, if your around tonite or sunday morning we will be online for a game?? let me know if your interested and I'll let you know rough times.
